Message Kyle special ordered the parts probably because the customer
insisted. He probably recommended the MSP manifolds. Yet the
customer finds out later on about some cheap Ebay versions that
happen to be the same as what AMS sells (illegal copies). How is

TTZMatt: did i ever think id be the guy to sell the z or go
kart?
TTZMatt: no
TTZMatt: but now that ive found true love, i dont care about
it anymore
TTZMatt: lol
